A/N: Prompts: 'Hesper Gamp' and 'unlikely'
When Hesper met Sirius at one of the balls hosted by her family, she did not think that she would fall for this - slightly arrogant - young Black. In fact, if it hadn't been for the betrothal that was in place she was seven years old, she thought it highly unlikely that she would ever - willingly - interact with him.
But he was here, and so was she, and she just had to make the best of it. So she kept the house clean, cooked him dinner and warmed his bed whenever he requested - like a good Pureblood wife does. However, she found that she didn't mind doing this things, because was a good man, who never beat her and treated her with some respect, something that couldn't be said for many of the other Pureblood males in society.
"Sirius?" she said one cold January night when they were sitting side by side in front of the fire.
"Yes?"
"I'm pregnant."
There was a shocked silence. Then: "Already?"
She nodded.
"That is very good news, very good news indeed." There was shimmering of delight in his eyes. It wasn't much, and it wasn't what she'd hoped for, but it was progress compared to how things had been between them before that.
"Are you... happy?" she asked, just to be sure.
"I suppose so," he replied - and that could possibly be the sweetest thing she'd gotten from him since the day she walked down that aisle.
